We’ve got the scoop on the most swanky new addition to the capital…
Inside the W Hotel in Edinburgh, you’ll find nothing but gold.
The newest and most glamorous hotel in the Scottish capital offers a £10,000 per night suite that will make you feel like a queen, with stunning views of the historic skyline and the castle.
Part of the St James Quarter, a new district that connects the old and the new in the city, W Edinburgh features 244 stylish guestrooms, stunning suites and an Extreme Wow Suite, which is the ultimate indulgence for those who want to experience the best of the best.
The striking exterior façade evokes the celebratory spirit of Edinburgh and creates a modern-day landmark in the heart of the city. It has been one of the most anticipated openings in Edinburgh in recent years since it popped up on Edinburgh’s skyline a few years ago.
The hotel has sparked a lot of controversy and debate over its design, with some locals wittily calling it the ‘walnut whip’ and the ‘golden turd’. But we all know that it’s what’s inside that counts, and inside the new W Edinburgh, you’ll find nothing but gold.
The Extreme Wow Suite, which is located on the 12th floor of the hotel, is the ultimate indulgence for those who want to experience the best of the best. The suite boasts a spacious living room, a dining area, a kitchenette, a walk-in closet, a king-size bed, a fireplace, a freestanding bathtub, a rain shower, a sauna, a steam room and a private terrace with a hot tub. The suite also comes with a personal concierge, a butler, a chef, a bartender and a masseuse, who will cater to your every whim and need.
The suite is designed to reflect the best of Scottish culture and history, with locally-rooted influences and creative collaborations throughout. The suite features a playful, round super-king-sized bed and a unique rock bar inspired by the city’s volcanic beginnings. The suite also has a secret speakeasy, where guests can enjoy music, sunset sessions and incredible cocktails in a cosy studio setting.
Indulge in the finest cuisine from around the world, with three innovative dining options at the hotel. SUSHISAMBA, the first in Scotland, offers a fusion of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine, with dishes such as tempura, sushi, churrasco, moqueca and anticuchos.
The W Lounge serves as the social epicentre of the hotel, with a sharing concept menu and cocktails that focus on using the best produce from Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. And João’s Place is a hidden apartment speakeasy, where guests can enjoy music, sunset sessions and incredible cocktails in a cosy studio setting.
